Windows 8 boots fine from my ~2 month old SVN build of Chameleon (I installed it on its own partition and unplugged the other drives while installing) in addition to Win7 and 10.7.2...?

I can't see why it would be a problem; Chameleon is only chainloading Windows 8's bootloader anyway.

Hi

It appears that chameleon will not work with windows 8 unless the windows is install in MBR. why i said this because it worked for me when windows was installed in mbr drive and mac on 2nd guid drive. the moment i changed windows drive to GPT it refuse to load when selecting chameleon unless I click on F12 upon boot and chose windows drive then it works fine.
I am going to move windows partition to second drive and let you know soon

Or just use a boot CD like rboot to avoid all the hassle...
